The video captures how delicacies from Indian cities are well-loved in Pakistan and vice versa.

For the Independence Day celebrations of Pakistan and India, online food delivery marketplace Foodpanda has launched a video which captures the universal love for food in both the countries.

"It plays on the universal love for food that transcends boundaries and acts as a common thread between Indians and Pakistanis. With a lilting background track, the video captures how delicacies from Indian cities are well-loved in Pakistan and vice versa," read a statement.

"Iss Swatantrata Diwas, Bhed Bhao Mitao… Bas Khaatey Jao, Khilatey Jao" (This Independence Day, forget the differences and instead, eat and feed) is the message that the video spreads.

Available on YouTube, the video showcases how the tastes, desires, preferences of citizens in India and Pakistan are alike.

A description of the video reads: "This is our tribute to independence: Independence of thought, harmony and peace. Independence of togetherness! #HumHainEk".

sunny | 9 years ago | Reply I totally condemn this video.Pakistan and India are not same.We should always remember "TWO NATION THEORY".The Two Nation Theory in its simplest way means the cultural,political,religious,economic and social dissimilarities between the two major communities.Hindus and Muslims of the Sub Continent.These difference of out look ,in fact,were greatly instrumental in giving rise to two distinct political ideologies which were responsible for the partition of India into two independent states.Pakistan should ban this Food panda company.DEAR COMPANIES!! PLEASE REMEMBER PAKISTAN AND INDIA ARE TWO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.DON'T PUT ALL EGGS IN ONE BASKET.

Supersequel | 9 years ago | Reply They can still work as partners and South Asia can be a confederacy. Yes, there are some critiques to a SAARC parliament due to Indias size compared to her neighbors, but invisible border (once things calm down hopefully), respect for each other's land, and a Free trade argument can unite these counties.

Raheel Nawaz | 9 years ago | Reply I don' think in reality things are like that pakistan and India can never be together because of religion and kashmir
